HOW the hell is that cheaper than getting a used engine and replacing it yourselfXxNavixX said:
no offense meant for luketownsend but if he knew how to replace an engine himself, im pretty sure he would have known why the spark plugs was fouled with oil and what it meant, basic stuff they teach in my auto class. this is the reason why i said he should take his car to a mechanic. didnt want to force him into something he may not have had too much experience with and end up screwing up his car and his entire weekend afternoon.

does anyone know how much this will cost
also could it have anything to do with maby changing the sparkplugs or adding seafoam to the engine.

oh yeah the oil was mostly on the threads and shit could it just have fallen into from above the cylinder i just hope its not a full engine rebuild
Engine rebuild on a Ka will run you about $700. You can get a rebuilt/low miles motor for about the same. Installation will run you another $700 or so depending on your mechanic. (I do a lot of work with my mechanic so my charge is sometimes lower than average)
Have a reputable shop do a leakdown test for you first so you know what is leaking. Rattling at idle may be just bad motor mounts. Motor mounts are $80-120 a piece. Figure an hour of labor for installation. BTW most Nissan dealerships can order Nismo mounts and they are about the same price as OEM, wierd but true.
Hopefully all you need is a head rebuild. That will be cheaper. Most of the charge will be for labor but it can be done in a day or two.
